13 柱庭 / Cabal 13

Very similar to The Bazaar, however the game has a lot of significant flaws holding it back. Number one is the very poor machine translated game mechanics. Often times you will not understand how something works until you lose to it. If you can't have even a single native English speaker on your team, do not bother releasing an English translation. The second biggest flaw is the game's excessive focus on permanent stat buffs. It creates many fundamental gameplay issues; such as being locked into your first units because of permanent stat investments. 'Pivoting' - when you transition to a different build mid or late game is almost impossible here. Another issue is that - because permanent buffs are so integral to scaling - you will have a full side board of buffers that you play for PvE combat (partially because PvE combat is so trivially easy). The end result is that you are constantly shuffling and re-organizing your board between each combat round, and it gets rather tedious. The third biggest flaw is the lack of balance, which I would look past in an early access game but combined with the first 2 problems, makes the game overall not very fun once you start going against opp…

This game needs proper English translation. Right now its barely playable.

I will change this review when they fix the main problem: FIX YOUR TRANSLATIONS. Edit: TRANSLATIONS ARE STILL ♥♥♥♥. There is an order in which words appear that are important. You've got so many disorganized [Bracketed] words that just slammed together and STILL do not convey a clear message. I was excited to see an update, but even JUST when trying to pick a champion, it was enough word vomit to dissuade me from going back in. Try again. I would really love to know what I'm doing and what I'm choosing. I get really really really tired of thinking a card or ability works one way, and then it doesn't and then I try to play it again a few runs later and forget how it works and get confused by the language again and end up making the same mistake. Other than this, the game is GREAT. There are a few aspects that are still confusing, but I figure they are working out kinks. Updates are less and less each day and I'm totally afraid it will become abandoned before they fix all the issues.

I'm going to give this the slightest of thumbs down. The translation is lacking and some of the UI interactions are a little on the slow side. These two things combined make for an experience that just isn't as good as other titles in the genre. They do have some good ideas though and if they keep working at polish and incremental improvements this could be a better version of The Bazaar

Game is awesome. That said you should only buy it if you want to support it. Currently the game has many issues: Main i would say is translation. There are some bugs but from what i can tell dev's are aware of them and working on a fix. Ranked match making sometimes feel really unfair. Instead of matching you against player that have similar win/loss/day ratio you are been matched based on what i would assume is in-game days. This matchmaking favorite aggressive play style. rewarding you with weaker matches early game and very hard matches late game. There are builds after day 12/13 that you just have to pick how fast you wanna die.

its not bad, but the english translations are terrible
